Show Pride: ​Building Identity Brick By Brick

In June 1969, one brick was thrown in protest at the Stonewall Inn. It was defiance. It was courage. It was the beginning of a movement. But what came next? More bricks—but not to destroy. To build. The LGBTQ+ community began laying foundations of identity, safety, and pride. Across cities and decades, each action—from marches to marriages—was another brick in a wall that still rises today. Not one of division, but of support and shelter. A wall of visibility. Of celebration. Of love. And now, from that legacy, comes Show Pride. With every necklace assembled from colorful, interlocking bricks, you wear a story—your story.

​

A Pride flag may represent orientation, but a brick necklace says more:  I built this. One piece at a time.  Every click of plastic is a testament to resilience.  Every color is a declaration. Show Pride isn’t just wearable—it’s modular empowerment.  Some people wear their flag.  You build it. You remix it. You expand it. Because identity isn’t static. It grows, reshapes, and proudly stacks with new experiences. And whether you’re making your first necklace, gifting a set to chosen family, or displaying one at a community event, you’re continuing what began decades ago—not with violence, but with creativity. 

 

From Stonewall to sidewalks in your city, from bricks thrown to bricks worn:  This is what showing pride looks like.
